Design and testing:

• airplane and helicopter wheel
• and skid landing gear,
• "shimmy" and anti-resonance dampers,
• landing gear shock absorbers (double acting),
• landing gear components down-selection
• and integration,
• test stands,
• ABS for aircraft brake systems,
• actuators and locks,
• wheels and high energy brakes.

Role in DRESS

WP200: Specification & assessment criteria
WP240: Shimmy damping analisys and modeling

The aim of this task is to study and develop a model of the nose landing gear and perform an analysis of the shimmy phenomenon. This task will also provide test programs to validate the shimmy damping solution.

WP620: Test rig design & Prototype Integration:

Design and manufacturing of a dummy landing gear able to receive the steering actuator

Design and manufacturing of validation test rig

Mechanical integration of the steering actuator on the dummy landing gear
